Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Principal?
The best area to stay in Principal is the area surrounding the Parque Central, as it offers the most convenient access to local amenities and the town's primary attractions.

This central area is the heart of Principal, characterized by its traditional architecture and the prominent church that faces the park. It's a compact and easily navigable part of town, with most shops, eateries, and local services within a short walk. The Parque Central itself is a focal point where community life unfolds.

Couples looking for an authentic and convenient experience will find this area ideal. Staying near the Parque Central means you're steps away from local dining options, artisan shops, and the main plaza, which often hosts local events and provides a pleasant spot for relaxation.
When is the best time to go to Principal?
The best time to go to Principal is during the dry season, which typically runs from June to September.

During these months, you'll experience more sunshine and less rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the town and its surrounding natural beauty. The weather is generally pleasant, with warm days and cooler evenings, superb for outdoor activities like hiking or visiting local markets without the interruption of heavy downpours. This period is particularly good for families looking to enjoy the outdoors.

While the dry season is generally preferred, the shoulder months of April, May, and October can also be good options.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation. To find flexible deals, filter your search by "Fully refundable property" for hotels in Principal.
